El Encanto Latino Food Truck

Three and a half stars. We had no problems preordering Mina 's Tamales for a neighborhood drop. The birria tacos were decent even though the tortillas clearly weren 't dipped into the consommé fat before frying, they at least maintained their integrity for dipping into the consommé on the side. Steak 'dilla was alright, but that protein is probably a skip for us next time; at least the salad and sour cream helped round out his meal with a rich horchata. My favorites of the night were the tamales we tried: moist, piping hot, and flavorful. I 'd happily get chorizo and pineapple tamales again, and am looking forward to trying their chicken and guajillo pork tamales too.

Great experience for a first time customer. I had chicken tacos and bean and cheese pupusas. They were both very good and fresh. The red spicy sauce was scrumptiously delicious, as well as the mild sauce. I made two meals out of this treat and looking forward to the next time.

This terrific little truck serves legit Mexican street food, with a couple of American crowd pleasers available as well (burrito, cheese steak, french fries...for those just not interested in Mexican street food). El Encanto Latino (also known as Mina's Tamales) is not just a taco truck. In fact the focus here is on tamales, sopes, and quesadillas. Nothing fancy, but it's all made fresh. I can recommend the sopes. If you've never had one, think taco but on a fresh corn based round that's much thicker than a tortilla. Two make for a very satisfying meal. The pork was tender and flavorful, if not terribly juicy (it's sliced, not pulled). I'm eager to try the birria beef next time. You can see the truck's schedule and even order your food in advance at minatamales.square.site.

El Encanto Latino came to our neighborhood with their food truck and it was AMAZING!!!! Best food truck of the season! They had such a wonderful variety of handmade foods and their staff was so kind and fast at getting food out! Highly recommend, 10/10!!

Hubs has a good nose for legit Mexican because well, he is Mexican. We ordered a mix of things and here are areas I would improve: Taquitos The chicken was a bit dry and tasteless Pork Tamales It seems like these were pre made (we get it, it's difficult to serve steaming, fresh, hot tamales from a truck) because the masa was a bit bland and the tamales fell apart, as soon as we opened the wrapper, from being dry. Birria Tacos (both our cheese and non cheese one) Fell apart and couldn't be picked up to dip in the consommé; Tacos should not fall apart. Positives: The Birria meat and consommé were tasty. The mild and hot sauce they had were tasty. We might give them another try, if there are some tweaks.
